Review:Despite all the evidence, millions around the world continue to blame the Jews for 9/11. This belief is a modern-day incarnation of the infamous "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," the century-old forgery that some people claimed to be the Jews master plan to rule the world. Filmmaker Marc Levin sets out to understand why "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" has been revived, and to challenge one of the most persistent, insidious conspiracy theories of all time. In the course of his explosive journey, Levin finds himself delving into the heart of hate, facing those who would traffic in bigotry, all in the name of God.Not long after 9/11, New York filmmaker Marc Levin took a taxi driven by an Egyptian, and in the course of their late-night ride, the cabbie made the startling charge that the Jews had been warned not to go to work at the World Trade Center on that fateful day. Provoked by this incredible statement, Levin questioned him on his assertion, to which the driver responded, "It's all written in the book." The book in question was "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," and that late-night conversation sparked Levin's probing new documentary PROTOCOLS OF ZION.
